Description

Even though shame is universal, how much did you learn about it in your training as a mental health professional? It’s critical that we help clients address this primitive human emotion, which is the intensely painful experience of believing that we are flawed, damaged, broken, or inferior—and therefore unworthy of love and belonging. Thanks to the 20 years of research conducted by Brené Brown, we understand that trauma, shame, and fear of vulnerability go hand in hand. In this session, based on Brown’s research, you’ll discover the four elements to shame resilience, including how to:

  • Recognize shame and understand its triggers, exploring narratives that block us from deeply connecting with others, especially individuals from different cultures than our own
  • Practice critical awareness by reality-checking the messages and expectations that are driving shame
  • Own and share your story, to truly experience empathy and build courage and authenticity
  • Use language and story to bring light to shame and allow yourself to get your needs met
